Over 120 people were present at the seminars, surpassing expectations; they listened very attentively to the speakers and participated with a great deal of interest.

The aim of this seminar was to make Bolivian society aware of the work that is being carried out in the ecological production chain; to establish among producers a sustainable way of expanding organic food markets in Latin America ; and gradually to expand ecological agriculture in these countries.

The talks were given by experts who are well-known nationally and in the ecological area; they shared their successful experiences with the whole audience.

The series of talks, which lasted a day and a half, addressed issues relating to regional marketing of ecological products, growth opportunities, markets, prices, means of distribution and other issues. Topics relating to certification, the local and regional regulation thereof, requirements and norms were also addressed, and retained the interest of the public the whole time.

We hope to be able to count again on the unconditional support of the BioFach Latin America Network and its representatives, so that Bolivia may disseminate the experiences and the sacrifice of many thousands of hard-working organic producers throughout the country.
